Jeg anbefaler Nettavisen som Norges mest debattvennlige nyhetsformidler. Men i klimaspørsmål skinner desverre redaktørens ståsted i Venstre litt for godt gjennom.
Quote� hevde at klimaendringene må være skapt av mennesker fordi "alle verdens klimaforskere" tror på dette er ikke bare like tøvete, men tøvete på samme måte, som å hevde at homeopati må virke fordi "alle verdens homeopatiforskere" hevder det.
QuoteFirst letâ??s look at time series (Fig. 3) of the global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT), and how it compares to the old (Version 5.6) LT:
Fig. 3. Monthly global-average temperature anomalies for the lower troposphere from Jan. 1979 through March, 2015 for both the old and new versions of LT (top), and their difference (bottom).
Note that in the early part of the record, Version 6 has somewhat faster warming than in Version 5.6, but then the latter part of the record has reduced (or even eliminated) warming, producing results closer to the behavior of the RSS satellite dataset. This is partly due to our new diurnal drift adjustment, especially for the NOAA-15 satellite. Even though our approach to that adjustment (described later) is empirical, it is interesting to see that it gives similar results to the RSS approach, which is based upon climate model calculations of the diurnal cycle in temperature.

Notice the trends decreased the most over the Northern Hemisphere extratropics, especially the Arctic, while tropical warming trends increased somewhat, especially over land. Near-zero trends exist in the region around Antarctica.

Det kan være - minst - like kaldt i mars som i januar, men når solen står høyere på himmelen kjenner man likevel varmen mye bedre uansett lufttemperatur. Og da i begge tilfeller med ansiktet vendt vinkelrett mot solen.
Strålingsspekteret til solen som du poster, synes imidlertid å bekrefte dette. En hel del av solvarmen forsvinner i vanndamp, og til og med noe i oksygenet. Lenger vei, og mer varme blir "brukt opp", eller rettere sagt lagt igjen langs veien.
QuoteOg da skulle man forvente at en lav vintersol over et tørt område, si Antarktis, vil varme mer enn over et fuktig område, som Vestlandet. Er dette tilfelle? Dette vil være målbart med et termometer.
QuoteOkke som er så viser dette at solen varmer atmosfæren direkte og ikke bare indirekte. Hva det nå enn har å si for drivhuseffekten(e).
QuoteNår ikke "framoverstrålingen" fra nærliggende varmere luft greier å varme oss, hvordan skal da "tilbakestrålingen" fra kaldere luftlag enda høyere oppe greie det? Jeg har ikke fått noe fornuftig svar fra varmister på dette spørsmålet.
Jeg sier ikke at det ikke finnes stråling fra kalde gasser i atmosfæren, både framover og bakover og sidelengs, bare at det må være ganske så spede saker?

QuoteRecent estimates of Antarcticaâ??s present-day rate of ice-mass contribution to changes in sea level range from 31 gigatonnes a year (Gt yr−1) to 246 Gt yr−1, a range that cannot be reconciled within formal errors. Time-varying rates of mass loss contribute to this, but substantial technique-specific systematic errors also exist. In particular, estimates of secular ice-mass change derived from Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite data are dominated by significant uncertainty in the accuracy of models of mass change due to glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA). Here we adopt a new model of GIA, developed from geological constraints, which produces GIA rates systematically lower than those of previous models, and an improved fit to independent uplift data. After applying the model to 99 months (from August 2002 to December 2010) of GRACE data, we estimate a continent-wide ice-mass change of −69 ± 18 Gt yr−1 (+0.19 ± 0.05 mm yr−1 sea-level equivalent). This is about a third to a half of the most recently published GRACE estimates, which cover a similar time period but are based on older GIA models. Plausible GIA model uncertainties, and errors relating to removing longitudinal GRACE artefacts (â??destripingâ??), confine our estimate to the range −126 Gt yr−1 to −29 Gt yr−1 (0.08â??0.35 mm yr−1 sea-level equivalent). We resolve 26 independent drainage basins and find that Antarctic mass loss, and its acceleration, is concentrated in basins along the Amundsen Sea coast. Outside this region, we find that West Antarctica is nearly in balance and that East Antarctica is gaining substantial mass.
QuoteOur regional GIA and GRACE mass balance estimates clearly show that more than half of current Antarctic sea-level contribution (positive or negative) arises from 6 % of the area of the ice sheet; mass loss along the northern Antarctic Peninsula and the in Amundsen Sea sector amount to −151 ± 7 Gt yr−1. East Antarctica, in contrast, has a slightly positive mass balance (26 ± 12 Gt yr−1), exhibiting a bipolar signature of accelerating mass increase in Dronning Maud Land and Enderby Land (12 ± 4 Gt yr−2) and accelerating mass loss in Wilkes Land and George V Land (−4 ± 2 Gt yr−2). The preliminary comparison with output from RACMO2/ANT suggests that the temporal signatures in East Antarctica (and Palmer Land, Antarctic Peninsula) are mainly due to interannual accumulation variability; enhanced precipitation in the years 2005 and 2007 as part of variability in the large-scale atmospheric circulation has induced these mass anomalies, not changes in ice-dynamic flow. The strong imbalance and acceleration observed for the northern Antarctic Peninsula and the Amundsen Sea sector (−151 Gt yr−1 and −22 Gt yr−2, respectively), however, clearly reflect more vigorous ice flow and are more likely to be a sustained sea-level contribution of AIS.
QuoteDuring 2003-2008, the mass gain of the Antarctic ice sheet from snow accumulation exceeded the loss from ice discharge by 43 ± 16 Gt /yr (2.3% of input), as derived from ICESat laser altimetry. The 101 Gt/yr gain in East Antarctica (EA) and the 68 G /yr gain in four drainage systems (DS) of West Antarctic (WA2) exceeded combined losses of 98 Gt /yr from three coastal DS of West Antarctic (WA1) and 28 Gt /yr from the Antarctic Peninsula (AP). Reanalysis of ERS radar-altimeter data, including a new post-glacial-rebound correction, indicates an even larger gain of 120 ± 50 Gt /yr during 1992-2001. In WA2 and EA, persistent dynamic thickening (excess of long-term accumulation over ice flux) contributed more than 170 Gt /yr to the net positive balance in both periods.
QuoteAlthough recent increases in dynamic thinning in WA1 and AP have been partially offset by accumulation increases, continuation at similar rates would initiate small Antarctic contributions to sea-level rise within a decade.

b) innlandsisen (det jeg kaller hovedmassivet ovenfor) i Antarktis har vokst i flere tiår (som det finnes flere tunge studier på, herunder en del jeg allerede har listet).
